Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile
industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made …

As part of the propulsion system, the fluid dynamic features of the main nozzle can
immediately affect the stability and efficiency of an air-jet loom. This study aims to optimize …

With the purpose of solving the problems of uneven velocity and energy loss of the foreign
fiber sorters, this paper has analyzed the nozzle distribution and structure in the foreign fiber …

This research was aimed at obtaining a first estimation of the effect of turbulent vortices
present in the relay nozzle jets of an air jet loom on the weft. To this end a large eddy …

This paper focused on the investigation of the slub yarn parameters and the relationships of
the aerodynamic friction along the surface of the slub yarn. The calculation of the frictional …

The yarn suction gun (YSG) is used to draw the running yarn in the initial phase and when
changing the bobbin in a continuous yarn production and is usually operated with …

In this research a structural solver and flow solver are coupled to simulate the motion of a
nylon yarn as it is launched into the atmosphere by a main nozzle of an air-jet weaving loom …

Air flow is employed in many textile processes to transport or to excite yarns to move in
specific directions. Air flows cannot be controlled completely, which leads to some …

In this research, a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) framework was established to estimate the
velocity of a yarn as it is propelled by the main nozzle. To allow the methodology to be used …

This work relates to the development of a simplified analytical model describing the driving
circuit of a main nozzle for airjet looms. The model is intended as an instrument to quickly …
